Tell Me Poem by Clyde King

When do you reach the point
of no return to sanity?
are any of us really normal?
completely sane?

I don't know. Maybe the rain
can tell us the answer.
maybe the rain tells us
when you go there's no going back.

Look at it falling on the rack
that stretches our minds beyond
this earth and beyond the stars.
tell me if you know please.

Tell me when your mind sees
the end of life and the pit
we all fear falling into.
do we really die or just pass

Into another plane of circumstance?
tell me if you can.
show me a world beyond this one
and then we can dance.
